Example sentences for: cutpoint

How can you use “cutpoint” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Lowering the PSA cutpoint below 4 ng/ml increased test sensitivity but markedly decreased specificity.

  • The 4 ng/ml cutpoint was associated with a likelihood ratio for a positive test of 1.28 and 0.42 for a negative test, representing only moderate probability revisions [ 18 ] . PSA values < 2 ng/ml or greater than 20 ng/ml were associated with large probability revisions.

  • This cutpoint was determined by standard clinical laboratory comparison methods and verification of the reference interval [ 26 27 28 29 30 ] . The mean HbA 1c for our study population was 7.91, with a range of 4.4-15.

  • Overall, however, the magnitudes of the likelihood ratios with age-specific reference ranges were similar to those found with the 4 ng/ml cutpoint, except for higher likelihood ratios following negative tests in men 70 years and older.

  • Raising the cutpoint to 10 ng/ml decreased the sensitivity to 38% while specificity increased to 84%.
